Cant Wait

Cant wait to get out in this glorious weather and start some gentle walking again I'm hoping by next weekend that will become a reality! yahoooooooooooooooooooo

I had a busy day yesterday, I think I talked most if it LOL with a couple of friends popping in and saying hello! Rose bought me a delicious chicken filo parcel and a REAL coffee I just about squealed with excitement over that one ... yummmmmmmmmm

John my surgeon rang yesterday also asking how I was going and how the drains were going. I told him the outputs and he said ... ooh if the left and the right stay under 50 tomorrow they can come out and I said ... wow cool, how will that happen being a Saturday and he doesnt consult ... and he says ... just jump in the shower and pull them out yourself *ewwwwwwwwww* he says quite matter of factly ... "most of my patients do it themselves" hehe So he gave me instructions on how to go about doing that and all the time I'm thinking OH GOD WHY MEEEEEEEE lol It's painless apparently, its just the thought of sliding slippery tubing out of my body just makes my skin crawl ... just like I bet yours is crawling now too! LOL

Anyway as it turns out, one of them WONT be coming out today. I decided to go to REAL BED last night ... I managed to sleep on both sides and on my back, but at about 3:30am I woke up feeling very uncomfortable so I got up went to the loo and found that the right drain which hasnt been doing much for about the last week - was FULL - 110mls! So thats put that one to rest for coming out today. Must have been the pressure of sleeping on my side which did something to it. I was moving about quite a bit yesterday and I've noticed my legs dont feel as tight today - so I think I need to make myself a bit more active - instead of walking around every hour, might start every half hour. baby steps baby steps - it seems to weird for me to be "starting all over again" when I think about where I got to with my fitness just two short weeks ago LOL I noticed on Thursday, I went downstairs to let my sisinlaw in and by the time I got back upstairs and sat back down I was puffing!!!!!!!!!! She said that wasnt due to my cardio "unfitness" just more about the anesthetic still working through my system. My sister agreed and said the same thing ... incredible how anesthetic can knock your body around like that.

One thing that hasnt been knocked around is my bowels - yep pooh talk LMAO! Made up this morning for not going yesterday thats for sure! I have noticed something different though. I dont know if its just me or anyone else but since the op, once I've had a decent dump, I can feel my stomach area shrink and everything feels lighter and empty. I've never noticed before feeling bloated when I was "full" - its quite a pleasant sensation and tummy feeling to have a good "release" LOL ... ok thats enough pooh talk for one day *giggle*

Craig's popped off to the gym this morning, first time in a week - hes missed it big time and I think he was looking forward to it. I handed him a wee shopping list for while he was out and he's also going to pick us up a gourmet sandwich for lunch - yay ham off the bone again! Come lunch time I get to have a shower, hopefully pull one of these drains out and then I asked Craig if he'll take me for a drive - just to get out of the house - maybe I can partake in another real coffee!

Right now though, I'm going to get some breakkie :D
